Anyone up for an Occupy OccupyWallStreet "flash" protest? I'm thinking we get at least 15 to 20 rational-thinking people to show up with pro-American, pro-free market, anti-socialist banners, stick around long enough to rile up the protest-monkeys occupying the park and to get on the cameras, and then announce politely that we've made our point and now we're leaving because it wouldn't be fair to everyone else if we monopolized the park to the exclusion of everyone else?

A little tourists' cornucopia from the big, bad OccupyWallStreet thingey. I took the images below on my way to work this morning - discarded most of 'em cause they were just too pathetic - and thought I'd share them.
